Vallejo model paints- retail outlet

hmm good to know Rick, thanks!

Dave, I think you'll like the Vallejo paints. you have to put on several light coats when air brushing as they don't like being applied too thick but oh what a finish!! very smooth and consistent. One of the main things for me is there is no paint waste. Since it is a dropper style bottle you just drop out the amoutn you think you need and that's it! I have been told by some people using it longer than me to thin it with their brand of thinner only, or distilled water. I use the thinner as it appears to have a retarder in it and it seems to dry better for me. From the description on the side of the thinner it mentiones will not speed up drying and will not let the paint lose its adhesion ability so maybe it has an adhesion aid too?

They have a complete line for figures as well if I remember right...

Squadron carries Andrea, which is the identical paint with a different label.

Regards, Rick

David Voss,

Here is the link to the store where I bought my Vallejo paints. I think they have the best prices and don't forget to complete the survey for the extra color.

I'd be interested in the name of the store and the link if possible. I've heard nothing but good things said about Vallejo paints in the past, especially in regards to miniatures.

I recently ordered some Vallejo paints to try them out. I did a google search on Vallejo and was given a number of places I could order them on the internet. I settled for a store in Florida. I think the name of the store was Strange Cargo which is a funny name for a hobby/craft dealer but they do a lot of figure stuff. Their prices were the cheapest and I got a free color for filing out their internet questioner. They also shipped very fast and I would not hesitate to order from them again. If you really need the name of the store and I the name I provided was incorrect, I can check my records for the correct name.

Hope this helps you.

You're best bet is to look up local hobby stores and call around and ask. HobbyRetailer.com might be a good place to look for a listing of local hobby stores.

If it's not too far out of your way, you might want to take a trip to Saratoga Soldier. If you check out their website, look under the Paint Shop link to see what they carry.
